expect Contraflow to begin at 4p.m. CDT. Mayor Blanco is waiting for the 10a.m. advisory, however, it should begin this afternoon. (Per WWL 870AM, New Orleans)

Just talked to the nephew in NO. He was pretty laidback - sayin the local news is telling them no one knows where Katrina is going, that if she keeps going straight she will hit TX/MX border...
He's on his way to get gas now tho. I hope he at least gets his stuff together so he can leave at a moments notice...
As far as which way people evac NO... from what the nephew has done, they either go west (towards Houston) or due north. Depending on hotel avail, I've heard of people going all the way to Arkasas or west over to Dallas ... alot of people who haven't left yet have already booked motel rooms.
